Details
NVIDIA Build provides free access to more than 100 models, including Kimi K2.5 and Kimi K2.6. It offers a playground where you can chat with models in your browser, as well as OpenAI-compatible APIs, a way to connect models to your programs. API keys begin with `nvapi-`.
After creating a free NVIDIA Developer Program account, visit the Kimi model page on NVIDIA Build to use the playground. On the same page, you can get an API key without registering a credit card and connect it to a service using the OpenAI-compatible format.
Requests per model are generally limited to about 40 per minute. Prototyping use has no separate token limit and does not expire. Moonshot's own platform requires a minimum top-up of 1 dollar before issuing an API key, so use NVIDIA Build to try Kimi models for free.
